LAB

The Arranging Movement in Film Lab is a collaborative platform for training, experimentation, and exchange focused on the interplay of dance and cinematic movement.

How It Works

Based on a simple task or score, that is introduced and shared at the beginning of each lab, the participants are invited to conceive individual film-choreographic miniatures within a 1½-hour timeframe.
At the end of each session, the filmic drafts that have taken shape will be shared and discussed in small groups, emphasizing the process rather than the result. The feedback rounds provide space for reflection on each one’s own work, enriched by the perspectives and ideas of other artists from the field.

What We Practice

The aim is to practice and enhance skills at the intersection of dance and film, focusing on aspects like the relationship between the camera and physical movement, and the use of editing to choreograph movement in film. The lab’s idea is to strengthen existing artistic approaches while exploring and incorporating novel strategies and methods, drawing inspiration and feedback from fellow participants.

Led By

The lab is collectively facilitated by Anna Athanasiou, Silja Tuovinen, and Sarah Möller, who conceived the format.

Who Can Join

It is open to artists working in dance and/or film who are interested in exploring movement beyond disciplinary boundaries. All levels are welcome.

The lab takes place online via Zoom in English. You will need a camera – your phone works just fine – and optionally some editing software.
